Tribeca Loft is an awesome 2013 project by Andrew Franz Architect located in Manhattan’s landmarked Tribeca North area, New York. It is a transformation project of the 3,000-square-feet top floor and roof of an 1884 caviar warehouse into a residence. This comfortable residence is designed with large open entertaining zones and it also has a fluid connection with the outdoor environment.
The design challenge for Capsule Loft is to accommodate a second level for bedrooms and maintain the architectural integrity of the industrial loft. This West Village apartment is 2500 SF in size, located in New York and designed by Joel Sanders Architect. The industrial loft in this apartment is characterized by tall south-west corner windows and exposed concrete beams. The architect also inserts a cantilevered wood-clad volume called the Sleeping Capsule.

This library is situated under the vaulted ceiling of the Concourse House multipurpose space, in a dark and underused mezzanine space. It is designed to break from the institutional quality of the other program spaces, also to engage the children through a bright, colorful, and playful environment. It also allows for flexible transitions between organized and individual group storytelling and readings.
The interiors of the building are soft and natural with white surfaces and the use of wood materials for some parts of the building, including the beams on the ceiling and floor design. From the outside, this building looks like a concrete square with a flat roof. Being in a narrow alley doesn’t mean it is impossible to design a new building with a wider space in it.
For the house inner floor, the architect uses tiles manufactured locally with earth from the house site. For the sidewalls, a similar solution is also adapted and done in a hammed earth. From the Green Building Council Brazil, this house has been received the Platinum environmental certification. It is the first time award in this country.
While imagining the children’s activities at the floor level of the building, the design is also adjusted so the interference between the wall and the ceiling is achieved and the exact result of the design can be shown. A diverse and free space is also created that can’t be understood from the design plan alone.
The site of the building is an undulating and greenery area of Tokyo Yamanote, so the architect tries to attract more great views of surroundings such as green spaces on the premises of the neighbor and cherry blossom trees on the front road. The dwelling type is also combined complicatedly just like 3D puzzles that can create a unique look for everyone who sees it.
This stair is transparent with open steel netting, open risers, and a thin solid steel structure. Around the stair, there is a small double-height area that can create a good relationship with the master bedroom which looks out through a large pretty circular window.
Designed by Local Architecture Network (LAN) Paris, Popincourt is an office project lasted more than a year. This office is located in the middle of a gentrified district of Paris, France. This project’s ambition is to challenge agency practice with the modernization of the places, tools, and creation. A wooden construction and work themes are combined to create a unique look in an office.
A durable yet playful loft residence is also provided by this house through the white and grey accents, polished concrete floor, custom-built white oak kitchen millwork, and solid surface counters. The floor and some parts of the house wall come in grey, adding a more elegant look to this house interior.
